Re: How to repair a pedal contact assembly?

The fact that the noise is coming out of the lower right speaker would give someone with knowledge of the signal routing, an idea of where in the organ the noise originates. If I recall, you've told us that the volume of the noise varies with the swell pedal, that tells me that the noise originates inside the organ somewhere.

Would love to hear it with the 147. But I don't have one. Got the pedals sounding right with adjusting the turn screw in the back of the console. Did notice the lower C spindle was a little worn. As I plunder along am hoping to stumble upon the "high pitch"which I believing in a ground problem. It's coming out of the lower right speaker, if that means anything. It seem also impossible to get to unless I basically disassemble the lower unit in the leslie to get to it. Not sure I want to go there.

This sounds like a connection issue somewhere.? ?Depending on where the organ has been sitting, the environmental conditions may have negatively impacted the systems.
My comment about the schematics was on the basis of having an engineer troubleshoot. Schematics are needed to deal with the issues like you originally mentioned ..."high pitch".? That is something you will very likely not be able to "fix" without someone knowledgeable in electronics.
The schematics are very likely readily available from this forum, in particular the resident expert, Chris Clifton.? But this would only be of any use if you committed to fixing the organ.? It would be too bad to "return it to the back room where it was" ....then what?? You should enjoy it!
The X77 is a powerhouse organ with the matching Leslie.? I have the luxury of also using the 147 for the "traditional sound".? It sounds terrible with both running at the same time. They each have their purpose.
